Team Coaching
Every team is unique. There is no single formula to apply that will achieve highly effective teams. I work with you to understand your team’s strengths and challenges, as well as the business outcomes needed to ensure the success of your product and company. Based on the assessment, we’ll partner to create a custom plan of engagement to reach those goals.
Team Lift Off
Taking the time and attention to lay the groundwork for a new team to be successful will help your team move into high performance mode faster.
During team lift off, I’ll help your team understand it’s collective strengths, create baseline agreements for how to engage productively with each other, understand the mission and business opportunities, and learn how to skillfully navigate conflict to create high performance.
Team Tune Up
Even the most effective teams can lose their edge over time. What worked fabulously a year ago may no longer serve. If your team feels like they’re just going through the motions and no longer innovating, you may need to engage in the process of debugging the team.
The debugging process includes a deep and broad assessment of what’s happening inside the team and in the ecosystem surrounding it. Based on findings, I’ll partner with you to implement the necessary changes to get your team back to performing.
Coaching & Facilitation
Every team deserves a professional coach and facilitator.
Engaging facilitation services for team gatherings or strategy sessions allows each of your team members to fully participate in the process.
Employing the strategic services of a team coach can help bring observations and insights that are difficult to see and understand from inside the team.
With the support of professional coaching and facilitation, you can concentrate on doing what you do best, creating the products your customers need and love.
Reviews
Elize K., Sr. Software Engineer & Team Lead
“Elise helped guide our team building during a high growth time to create a highly functional, resilient team. As our team, focuses, and priorities have shifted, we have never been more grateful for that initial team building work to create a strong foundation.”
Joel G., Director of Product Management
“Elise and I worked together at two startups. From her I learned of and participated in the idea of self-organized, self-directed teams. As a Product Manager, working with a team of software engineers who are in that mode is incredibly powerful, and what those teams had in common was Elise’s guidance and counsel. She has a no-nonsense, “let’s figure out what works” approach that I admire. I’ve seen her positive impact on teams first hand, and I consider her the best coach I’ve worked with in my software career.”
